AP poll

Re: AP poll

Thank you voice of reason. To think we are going to beat Maryland is a little premature. Lets take care of our conference games and compete against the rest of the nation. Maryland is one of the top DI programs in the nation. We are not.

Amen guys...Maryland gets 1005 votes in the AP top 25 poll to rank third in the nation, we get one to get our name on the also mentioned list. We saw Maryland play last year in the Bahamas...and we're good, but not that good. They did lose Shay Doran, but have two pre-season All American candidates, so they will be good. Having said that, I'm excited to watch us play them to see where we do stack up.

Re: AP poll

I think if we stay within 20 of Maryland it will be great.

The nice thing about the MD Terps game is it will be on a neutral court. Same with IL, and MT. If we can come out of that tourney with more wins than losses, LOOK OUT!

Re: AP poll

A few wins early against those tough nonconference opponents and we just may break the top 25

The last weekend of the Summit League games starts with the following Vaporia ratings:

70 SDSU
114 Oakland
163 NDSU
175 Oral Roberts
194 IUPUI
204 Western IL
241 IPFW
259 UMKC
304 SUU
330 Centenary

The ESPN Bracketologist has Western Ill as the worst NCAA entrant, which at 204, is likely correct. However, any of the 8 eligible teams could be there.

The bracketing for the Summit tourney is going to be very interesting, and tied to this weekend's results. Three teams could end up at 12-6, possibly 4 if Oral Roberts would win the road sweep through the Dakotas (extremely unlikely at Frost Arena)

If NDSU wins both games, they would be in for number 2, but like Jacks don't get to make tourney.

WIU could be second outright, but have to win at IUPUI.
Oakland should sweep UMKC & SUU on the road.

Glad we're locked in for the Summit League regular season title!

Hope we get a good run of home games through the WNIT.

Re: AP poll

Exactly. Enough said.......

Great move up for the women.

Re: AP poll

WOW!!!! Centenary is the PENULTIMATE Worst team???? OMG, knew they were bad, but this is OUCH.

Visions of NJIT at Frost are popping into my head.

Re: AP poll

Oral Roberts is ranked #208 and Centenary is #337 (of 338 schools), even with two wins I don't know if we could move up much more if at all unless some of the schools ahead of us lose a few games.

Re: AP poll

The Jacks move up from 91 to 78 in the NCAA RPI. That is a big move for one week. Especially when you are above 100 in the RPI, it is tough to move up this late in the year. We only played one game this week too.

Go State!!!
Go Jacks!!!

This compilation of all the polls seems to be the most accurate of projecting the teams to the NCAA's and WNIT.

Jacks are one spot ahead of Oakland Griz (91/92) to lead the Summit. Summit undefeated WIU are 189, behind ORU at 167.

201 NDSU
226 IUPUI
231 UMKC
258 IPFW
297 SUU
326 CENTENARY

really need to win our next three games to seperate us from the rest of the Summit. But defintely need Western IL to get knocked off so to be tied or below Jacks for the regular season title

As we host WIU/IUPUI for this weekend's games we are basically this weekend away from driving a stake into the Summit League Regular Season title, and with that comes the WNIT bid for the Jacks. Coming into this weekend the compiled poll above has:

85 SDSU
106 Oakland
174 ORU
194 NDSU
204 WIU
205 IUPUI
238 IPFW
243 UMKC
290 SUU
329 Cent

If the two xDSU's hold their home turf (SDSU keep extending that 18-game home winning streak). NDSU's home Summit losses at SDSU/Oakland (both roughly 100 above Bison), then Jacks are pretty solidly locked in for the title.

Home turf, Pork nite, 100+ rating difference, team at full strength, playing with the drive to THRIVE, GET OUT AND BACK THE JACKS SAT/MON!

Like Volleyball before them, let's get the title our first year in SUMMIT LEAGUE.
